Show Us Your Books {April 2017}

It’s that time of month where my To-Read list grows and grows! Here’s what I’ve been reading lately:

Watching Edie by Camila Way – 3 starsReceived from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. This book was disturbing in many ways, and I thought that I had it figured out but I didn’t. It’s about Heather and Edie, high school friends who had a strangely intense relationship for not knowing each other very long and whose friendship ended traumatically. Now in their thirties they are back in each others lives as Edie becomes a single mom. I really could not relate to either of the two and I went back and forth on which I disliked more or thought was crazier. It was a quick read but not my favorite.

Maggie Dove by Susan Breen – 3 starsReceived from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. This was the first of the Maggie Dove series. It’s what I consider “a cute murder mystery”. Good for curling up with a cup of tea on the weekends or before bed and not freaking you out. When a couple of murders hit close to home in Maggie’s sleepy town, the retired Sunday School teacher is on a mission to figure it out. I enjoyed it and will probably read the next installment of the series.

The Sister by Louise Jensen – 2 stars
This is not on the top of my list of thrillers. I found the “twist” to be really obvious and was not emotionally invested in any of the characters. I found myself just wanting it to end instead of really looking forward to finding out what happens…

Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham – 2 stars
I was really excited to about this book because I love Lauren Graham. I’m a huge Gilmore Girls fan and I loved Parenthood. I listened to the book on Audible and sadly I was not impressed. The story was okay but nothing special really and I found myself slightly annoyed by Graham’s narrating. Kind of a disappointment.

Thanks for stopping by Lauren! None of these were WOW reads but not terrible.
